One Kusal replaces another for T20I in Bangladesh

 Batsman Kusal Perera, who was named in the 15 member squad to take part in the upcoming T20 internationals against Bangladesh has been ruled out of the two games following medical advice.

According to medical opinion, Perera needs more time to recover from the side strain, which he suffered during the second ODI match against Zimbabwe in the recently concluded ODI Tri-Series in Bangladesh, where Sri Lanka became champions.

Perera did not leave with the T20 players, who left the country yesterday. He will be replaced by Kusal Mendis.
